It’s been a month since Israel began its Operation Roaring Lion and America began its Operation Epic Fury, both directed at ending the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile threats against them and, as it became clear, against the Gulf Arab states as well. Both President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have made public their views on what has been achieved so far, as the war appears to be approaching a climax. More on the remarks by both leaders can be found here: “Trump: No deal needed to end the war, Iran won’t be able to obtain a nuke ‘for years,’” by Jacob Magid and Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, March 31, 2026:
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Iran does not have to agree to a deal to end the ongoing US-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic, and stated that the United States will probably wrap up the war in two or three weeks.
The White House later announced that Trump would “address the nation” on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Eastern time to provide an update on the war.
Trump also declared that Iran’s surviving stockpiles of enriched uranium did not concern him at all since they are buried underground and inaccessible, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted that Israel, during the current conflict, has “smashed” Tehran’s ability to produce nuclear weapons.
The remarks from both Trump and Netanyahu appeared to potentially set the stage for the conclusion of the war, even as the US has been amassing troops for a potential ground operation in Iran.
“No, [the Iranians] don’t have to make a deal,” Trump said in response to reporters’ questions at the White House, which later announced the president will “address the nation” about the war on Wednesday at 9 p.m. eastern time.
“When we feel that they are… put into the stone ages and won’t be able to come up with a nuclear weapon, then we’ll leave, whether we have a deal or not,” he said. “It’s irrelevant now.”…
Trump added that it would take Iran “10 years to rebuild” after the war….
That may be, but we must remember that Trump is given to hyperbole. After the Twelve-Day War last June, he insisted that the Americans had “obliterated” Iran’s entire nuclear program, including destroying the 400 kg. of uranium enriched to a level of 60%. That turned out to be false. The uranium is still there, deep underground, and no one can be sure just how deeply it is buried, and how much rubble lies on top of it.
At the beginning of the current war, Iran had 3,000 ballistic missiles. It is now estimated to have only 1,000. IDF bombs destroyed some, and others were used up in attacks on Israel and on seven Gulf Arab states. Iran also has seen 90% of its missile launchers destroyed or so damaged that they cannot function. Furthermore, all of the factories that produce those ballistic missiles have been destroyed. In addition, on March 27, Israel destroyed most of two large steel mills in Isfahan, though Iran has others that are still intact, but likely not for long; they are on the IDF’s To-Do List.
For a campaign that is only one month old, it’s quite a record. Every single ballistic missile factory has been smashed to smithereens. As for Iran’s nuclear project, both the Americans and the Israelis have hit, repeatedly, the uranium enrichment facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and in Isfahan, and the Americans, who used their bunker-buster bombs, believe that the famous 400 kg. of uranium enriched to a level of 60% is now under so many tons of rubble that it will be impossible for the Iranians to ever dig it up. But in case the Iranians should try to unearth it, the IDF’s spy satellites will pick up any activity at the sites and the Israeli and American air forces can then “mow the grass” with a policy of instantaneous bombing on those same suspiciously-tended sites.
Well done, airmen and soldiers, of both America and Israel. Now let’s see what you can accomplish in another few weeks of bombs aweigh while Iran flails out with the little it has left, in every direction, sealing the enmity of every one of its neighbors.
